Visa Grant Delay 189

Hi Jolly,

I received the below CO contacts yet:

  1. First CO contact on 9-Aug-2022 to redo medicals and PCC. We were expecting a child so we deferred my wife’s Chest X-ray
  2. Second CO contact on 25-Nov-2022 as an acknowledgment to add child and for my health undertaking for an underlying condition. We completed my wife’s chest X-ray and our baby daughter’s medicals in Feb-2023
  3. Third CO contact on 23-Mar-2023 for me to redo my medicals (which I don’t understand why as it had not been a year since the last medicals. Could be because of my underlying health condition)
  4. Fourth CO contact on 20-Apr-2023 to sign health undertaking (which is ridiculous as I had already signed the same health undertaking before)

Haven’t heard since. If we don’t hear by August, then our PCC and wife’s medicals will have expired, and they will ask to do this again. By the time we do this, my medicals will have expired. We will be stuck in a perpetual loop!

There was a time when going to Australia was our dream. However, it has been too long now and we have grown into the community and career-wise here in India. Also, our entire childbirth experience - from the medical system, doctors, and family support has been wonderful. We’re now seeing a lot of merit in NOT settling abroad. We have come to a point where we don’t care anymore about the PR

Hi Hrishikesh…!!

Yes you are about to have quite a perpetual loop. But I am SURE you will receive a grant before that. Because unlike me, your file is just A GRANT away… Already you have provided all the documents they may ask.

In my case, my wife’s medical is not done yet. And my agent tells me to wait till the case officer himself demands for the same.

We also have grown career-wise here so the outcome will not make any major impact to our lives. Just that, we want an outcome of our efforts and money we have invested. How much wait we have to do…!!!

It’s really strange that you haven’t received any CO contact yet. Most agents are good for nothing and have the habit of talking like broken records. Ask them if they have any other case this old still waiting for the first CO contact. I bet they don’t. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be anything else that you can do than wait.

Fully agree with you that we need closure after having spent time, money and a lot of emotions into this process.

Yes brother. @Hrishikesh_Deshpand1 You said it correct.

I finally received my grant after 4 years, 2 months, and 8 days!
